He says he is for the Military benifits/pay increase, and VA benifits and care...but then cuts funding for it. So, even if you qualify for these "improvements" THEY ARE ANYTHING BUT A WAY FOR HIM TO BE A MONKEY IN THE LIMELIGHT and get your vote for him to make the country more indebt and ways for him to pass laws and bills that make his investments richer even though he HAS HIS SILVERSPOON SO FAR UP HIS ARSE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, these are "facts" as presented by the Democratic National Party to divide and polarize the American public. Bush did not cut funding to schools or VA benefits, or for nearly anything else for that matter - he did however cut some of the proposed increase. These agencies are all getting more than in the past, just not as much as what they requested; and anyone who knows how government budgets work will tell you - ask for the moon, because it will be cut. Make sure you spend it all by the end of the year - any way you can - because if you have any left over at the end of the year, you get an automatic cut the next year.

I can't continue to listen (read) these rants without responding. It is necessary to think and investigate for yourself what the facts are - the politicians are going to put them in the best light (spin) to present their case. The Democratic Party is particularly bad about fabricating "facts" to polarize the public. I'm not sure why, but it seems that whenever I hear a Democrat talk about politics, it is full of accusations, slander, name calling, and outright anger. The Democrats that I have challenged face-to-face about the reasons that they believe in their party, cannot logically tell me and end up in the ranting and name calling anger state that we are seeing in this thread.

I don't get it, I have a lot of rational reasons for how I believe and how I vote. I try to be as informed as possible about my choices and what I am told. The "why I am" post that was quoted earlier was very to the point and logical about what that person believed and why without ranting - I'd like to hear that same thing from someone with the opposing views, just so I can try to understand where you are coming from. I'm not trying to inflame here - and SPAZZ, I'm not picking on your post, just replying to it. But I would actually like to hear from someone in a rational tone why they voted for Kerry.
